ATTRACTIONS ROUS NSW

Home of the Living Lattice Labyrinth - the largest maze in the world grown in this fashion as a result of the inosculation of over 9,000 trees. Due to its open structure, claustrophobics will be relaxed in this maze, as will parents of young children.
You can explore the labyrinth to find The Tower, play The Seekers Game or just take a meditative stroll along the broad Living Lattice Paths which are suitable for wheelchairs and strollers.
Puzzles are available to play with and range from jigsaws for toddlers to the most mind-bending challenges. These puzzles are also for sale and are ideal as gifts - especially for those who are difficult to buy for.

Experience fine local coffee, tea and home-made cake either the coffee shop or on the veranda, overlooking the maze. Deliciously fresh light lunches are available and are made using local produce. Amaze \\'n\\' Place is only 1.5 kilometres south of Alstonville. Alstonville is in the Ballina-Byron Hinterland, 15 minutes west of Ballina

Aboriginal Bora Ring is one of the several tribal ceremonial grounds in the district and has been fenced and marked with a description board. Ceremonial grounds are very significant to the Aboriginal people and are usually marked with a Bora Ring.
The Bora Ring is a raised platform of dirt arranged in a circle. This Bora Ring which was last used in the 1800s is located 15 kilometres south of Lismore on Wyrallah Road; it is a peaceful place, next to a cemetery with views to Parrots Nest and Blue Knob. For more information, please contact the Lismore Visitor Information Centre.

When it's time to catch up with friends and family, head to the picturesque Victoria Park picnic area. Here, you can enjoy the peaceful tranquillity of the rainforest in the northern NSW hinterland, only a short drive from Ballina. The adjacent reserve protects one of the last remnants of the original Big Scrub sub-tropical rainforest and makes an excellent backdrop for a relaxing get-together. Spark up the barbecue or unpack the hamper in the cool shade of the bangalow palms, or if you're feeling inspired, cook up a feast at the communal galley. The wheelchair facilities ensure this tropical oasis is a perfect spot for elderly people and groups. After a leisurely picnic, the tranquil Victoria Park boardwalk makes a perfect after lunch stroll.
